World Post Day: 9th Oct

World Post Day

World Post Day is celebrated every year on October 9 to mark the establishment of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) in 1874. The day highlights the importance of postal services and their role in connecting people across the world. Even in the digital age, postal systems remain vital for delivering letters, parcels, and essential documents—especially in rural and remote areas. The day also honors postal workers for their dedicated service. Many countries issue special stamps or organize exhibitions and awareness campaigns to celebrate this occasion.
